More than a hundred incidents of racial abuse and hate crime have been reported since the UK voted to leave the European Union.

Many of the alleged perpetrators cited the decision to leave the EU explicitly.

One video, purportedly filmed in Hackney on the morning after the referendum, shows a man arguing with someone in a car before yelling: “Go back to your country.”

Abuse has been documented against those from within the EU - but also those from outside the union and those born in the UK.

Agata Brzezniak came to the UK on a scholarship from Poland when she was 17. She is now studying for a PhD in chemistry.

She has lived in the UK for eight years and told The Independent: "I have made the UK my home, it is where I have felt safe and appreciated"

"[Like] many Polish people in the country I feared the EU referendum result would cause an increase in intolerance, discrimination and racism, but I didn’t think it would become so aggressive and be so immediate."

Just checking your original statement left it open to that possibility

I know your game.

For you information, I live in a constituency with many wards with significant non white British communities.

Leave got 67.9% of the vote. Only one ward went remain.

We engaged with all communities. And guess what? Many non white British people voted to leave. The constituency is safe Labour, and our local vote leave campaign was made up of ordinary people campaigning alongside Labour and Tory councillors. Trade Union members as well. It was not exactly a hotbed of far right types as you and your ilk would like to imagine.

But that is your problem. And much of your campaigns problem. You did not have a f###ing clue.

No more representative of the leave campaign then the German Christmas rapes are of the average immigrant or refugee..... who are you trying to misrepresent.

He's not trying to misrepresent anyone, as I said on the main EU thread I don't think most leave voters are racists but what the campaign has done is allow those in the far right to wrongly think their views are legitimate and supported by the majority of the population so that are fine to engage in their odious hateful behaviour

How much of the £350 million week are the folk in your constituency expecting when it arrives?
